Toyota Material Handling is again
sponsoring the RTITB Opertor of the
Year Competition, emphasising its
continued commitment to safety in
the workplace, as well as supporting
the skills and dedication of forklift
truck operators.
In addition to sponsoring the
national competition, Toyota
supplied four new Toyota Traigo48
counter-balance forklift trucks for
regional heats held at IMHX. These
feature Toyota’s System of Active
Stability, helping keep the forklift
stable, protecting driver, goods and
the truck itself. The Traigo48s were
used both for driving challenges and
visual inspections.

Tony Wallis, sales and marketing
manager, says: “Toyota is committed
to reducing workplace accidents, and
competitions like this go a long way
to raising the profile of safe operating
practices.”
